Dietary Diets: Weight Loss vs. Liver Health Explained

According to a randomized clinical trial published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet reduces liver fat and improves insulin sensitivity significantly more than Mediterranean or plant-forward diets when participants achieve a comparable 10% weight loss. Researchers found that dietary macronutrient composition independently alters metabolic responses, yielding a 67% reduction in hepatic triglycerides … Read more

How Cancer Acts as a Systemic Disease: New Study Findings

Researchers at Ludwig Princeton have discovered that tumors can manipulate distant organs to evade the immune system, according to a study published in Cell Metabolism. Led by Yibin Kang and Yong Tang, the research demonstrates how cancer cells send signals across the body to alter fat metabolism in the liver and immune responses in CD8⁺ … Read more

Natural Hormone Suppresses Liver Inflammation via Brain-Gut Pathway

According to researchers at McMaster University, the naturally occurring hormone GDF15 protects the liver from inflammation and slows the progression of scarring through a brain-to-liver signaling pathway independent of weight loss. Published in Cell Metabolism, the findings challenge longstanding assumptions about the hormone, which is best known for suppressing appetite and promoting weight loss. Understanding … Read more
